    Why would someone willingly join COBRA? What set of circumstances and life decisions would drive an individual to throw in with a ruthless shadow organization determined to undermine society as we know it? This is one man's story...
    Extra special THANKS and APPRECIATION to my small but essential voice cast. The Profit Director's Channel ( / @theprofitdirectorscha... ) and Paul Loubser ( / gijoburg , thanks a ton fellas!
    Also another special thanks to HCC788 ( / hoodedcobrac788 ) for allowing us ordinary folks to participate in Cobra Convergence 6!! Thank you!)

    Your stoytelling ability is on another level. How you utilized ole boy in the story is exactly how the COBRA Officer is described on his file card. Being an anal muthafucka I love that sort of attention to detail.
    Hey Data Mag, I just need to ask you. Are you going to customize your COBRA Officers? You can paint the braiding, the chevron on the helmet, those squares on his uniform, and the COBRA sigil different colors to denote rank. I'm going to paint those details on my COBRA Officer gold and make them generals. Knowing you, you'll fuck around and have a whole officer corp in your COBRA Command. Again, dope shit man.

      Hey man I really appreciate the compliments on the story. I really try to write dialogue that portrays the characters as I intend them to come across. Also, with GI Joe in particular, I really try to accentuate the military aspect of conversations and such. With this film, I was striving to make this thing feel like a cloak and dagger spy movie. From what I've seen in the comments it looks like mission accomplished, which is a big relief because I wasn't sure I could pull it off, LOL! As far as customs go, that is an excellent idea... I only have 2 officers so far so I'd need to get a couple more, but I like that idea. Plus we got squad leader Vipers and CG's coming down the pipeline too! The possibilities are endless with these guys! Always appreciate the support and love my friend!!

      @@datamag2018 Yeah, I peeped the possibility of having a COBRA Command Officer Corps early on when I noticed those squares. Me personally I only need four COBRA generals and the rest will be LTs.
      Yeah, you've pulled off the spy thriller element of the story perfectly. It's good to mix it up because everything doesn't need to be "shoot'em up, bang, bang."

      Much appreciated!! I'm really glad that many of you not only liked the video but enjoyed the story. I went with a very different vibe in this one. Almost no action, or wild VFX, lots of dialogue, but it was all moving the story along and portraying the situations and the characters within the story. Definitely very different than huge gun battles and fights, LOL! I wanted it to feel like a spy movie so I'm glad it worked out.

    DataMag, I was rewatching this when I peeped something C.C. said, _"Digital renders, I was anticipating something more concrete."_ Why are you firing shots at Hasbro?😆😁 Also, it makes me laugh every time I see Bludd go by in that cart.
    I would love to see your take on a COBRA Command origin story detailing C.C.'s motivations and how he recruited the Baroness and the Twins.

      @@datamag2018 Yes! I saw the segment of your Cobra Operative stop motion feature HCC788 included in his weekly Cobra Covergence 6 compilation video and thought it looked great so I clicked the link in the description to watch the whole video. I would have subscribed anyway just to support a stop motion video producer, but your production quality and story telling are next level, so you truly "won" my subscription.
      Your channel is awesome! The unfortunate reality of CZcams is that they make their money off quantity of views, not quality of production, and as such, they strongly encourage creators to put out new "content" every day. I have noticed this seems to encourage creators to go down the path of ranting about and criticizing other things because that's easier to create material for on a daily basis, and because it grabs people's "rubber-necking" attention (our innate instinct to watch fights, collisions, etc.) That means that amazing creators like you who put in considerable amounts of time and energy into writing, filming, and editing each video are often ignored by the algorithms and buried in the avalanche of "content" that floods into CZcams every minute.
      Despite all of the above, you have stuck to your guns and continued to make and put out great stories. For that, I thank you.

    • @datamag2018
      @datamag2018  Před 2 lety +1

      @@brushstroke3733 That really means a lot to me, so I sincerely thank you for the sentiments. I agree that CZcams rewards content creators that pump out more content on a regular basis. When I first started my channel, I would put out a stop motion every 3-6 months because (as you have indicated) to do one right, and with quality, it takes time. My viewership grew slowly but steadily, and I was very grateful for anyone that spent any length of time watching my stuff. Over the past say 2 years or so I started doing custom showcases and selective toy reviews and unboxings. This has helped grow the channel without putting out videos just to satisfy the algorithm. I've always told anyone I talk to that I make videos about and showing stuff that I would like to watch. It's obviously not for everyone, and I'll never make any real money on CZcams, but that was never the intention. I am a creator of heroic (and villainous) stories... as well as everything in between... Once upon a time I used to write and draw comics, but that's a story for another day, LOL! And I love action figures, ever since I was old enough to hold one. So I make videos about things I like or like to do. As silly as it may sound I'm still humbled by how many people like my stuff enough to subscribe and comment on my videos. You guys appreciating my ideas and work and interacting in the comments makes all the hours I spend on this stuff absolutely fulfilling. So...Thank You for that!
